I started my own online Tea Store, so got my web site (www.fineceylontea.com), twitter, Facebook done. Add the products to e-bay and amazon too. But so far the sales are very low. I have a very good product, in fact it the best Tea I have tasted and I am offering it at a very good price too. Everyone I have asked to test have given wonderful comments. But my online sales are very low.

I would love to improve sales at minimum cost, any idea would be appreciated.

Do you promote your online store on Twitter & Facebook several times a day? I have heard that if you put out several interesting tweets promoting your business each day, that it will drive business your way. And Facebook is a very busy place as well. Have you tried LinkedIn?

How long have you been in business? Sometimes it just takes time to get your business growing and then before you know it you're so busy you wish for slower days.

I do promote my store via facebook and twitter couple of times. I take my own images and post of FB and try to twit as well. I will look into LinkedIn I have never used that as a marketing tool, i am planning of creating a you tube as well now as i believe lot of ppl use that.

I have been in business about two months now. I started it very small with my husband to get extra income for us. I know to grow it, it will take time. But I want to make sure i am not missing on any new marketing areas.

Search for answers

Ask the community

Most of the time, you just want to find content that has a particular phrase. Here are the easiest ways to find the content you want.

Enclose your search phrase in quotes. Search will try to find content with those words in the order you enclosed them. A search for "marketing advice" is going to return content with the phrase "marketing advice".

Search for content that has certain words, but not necessarily all of the words in order. This is the most basic search. Simply enter your search terms. For example: accept credit cards This will search for documents containing the words accept, credit, and cards

Using OR. The OR operator links two terms and finds a matching document if either of the terms exist in a document. To search for documents that contain either "web design" or just "online marketing" use the query: "web design" OR "online marketing"

Using AND. The AND operator says that the search should return content in which all of the search terms are present. To search for documents that contain both "web design" and just "online marketing" use a search like this: "web design" AND "online marketing"
